The filer has UNIX-compatible remote shell capability that
enables you to execute certain filer commands from a UNIX
command line or shell script. It also enables you to use
a remote shell application on a PC to run filer commands.

The value of rsh.access controls access to the filer, and
is set by optionsrsh.access. See na_protocolaccess(8)
for more details. This value is checked prior to the
authentication mechanisms discussed below.

The /etc/hosts.equiv file controls authentication to the
filer remote shell. The hosts and users (on those hosts)
listed in the /etc/hosts.equiv file are automatically
authenticated. This means that the filer accepts remote
shell commands via rsh from these hosts and users.

An alternative authentication mechanism for rshd is to
have the client use rsh with a -l option that specifies
the admin_name and password in the form of -ladmin_name:password. Both the admin_name and password are
created with the filer's useradmin command.
